he went back to his room after breakfast and throw himself on the bed while thinking

"i can't keep following her like that or else she might think im a bad person who's trying to hurt her"

he went to the counter and asked them about a girl named park hwayoung. and they said "yes, she's one of the guests here"

he asked them if he could know which room she stays in. unfortunately, they can't tell them for the safety of the guests

he told them that he's also a guest in the hotel and showed them his room key but they still won't tell him

"can you at least help me?"

"how can we help you?"

"maybe some of your co workers can go to her room and tell her that someone wants to meet her"

"that someone is you?"

"yes. please. i mean no harm. i won't do anything, i promise"

the employee sigh "if you know her, why don't you just meet her yourself?"

"how am i supposed to do that if you won't tell me which room she stays in?"

"...... "

"please help me.. i'll pay you"

he sigh again. realizing his desperation, he decided to agree. "okay okay. i'll help you. but how?"

"go to her room or just call her and say someone wants to see her but don't mention my name. i'll be waiting at the cafe"

hwayoung's pov

that evening she decided to rest in her room while watching tv and munching the pastries that she bought from the hotel's bakery

*knock knock

someone knocked on the door of her room. she wondered who it was and remember the incident this morning

"excuse me? is there anyone inside?"

it was a guy. that made her more scared.

"im an employee.. " said the voice

she walked to the door and peeked through the hole and saw a man with the uniform. that means he is an employee and she sighs in relief

she opened the door "yes? how may i help you?"

"im sorry for bothering you but someone wants to see you. he already met with the manager and they confirmed he's not a bad person" he explained

"uhmm.. can you describe what he looked like?"

"dark brown hair.. tall.. he's taller than me. maybe 180cm"

she let out a small gasp and tears welling up in her eyes. "are you serious?" she asked with shaky voice

"yes" he nodded

"oh-okay. where is he?"

"follow me to the cafe"

she closed her bedroom door and followed the employee. they went down using the elevator and walk towards a cafe on the 2nd floor

'is it really him? impossible! how does he know im here?' she asked herself

they approached a table where someone was sitting. she couldn't tell who it is because she can only see his back

"ehem.. sir. she's here. now excuse me i have work to do. about the payment, you don't have to"  he bowed to him and left

the person behind him stood up and turned around "did you miss me?" he asked

'kang minhee...'
the tears that welled up finally rolled down her cheeks. is this a dream?

"m-minhee.. " she sobbed and he quickly pulled her into his embrace

"shh it's okay.. im here. im here for you. i'll never let you go again, park hwayoung" he held both of her cheeks and wiped her tears and kissed her nose

"but.. how did you know im here?" she asked

"serim hyung.. he asked help from jungmo and woobin" he explained

"i-i miss you so much" she hugged him again

"me too" he kissed her forehead

i was hurt. but seeing you again healed me
